Starsailor - Love
Is Here (Capitol)
+ Date: 01.08A voice this unique cannot
be ignored for long, especially when it comes
from an incredibly young, talented, and intelligent
man and is accompanied by an equally young, talented,
and intelligent band. Starsailor's radical departure
from their classical training at a prestigious
music school sounds absolutely nothing like punk,
but embraces the same simplicity and independence
of punk. And yet this album is sensitive, emotional,
and refreshing.  Emily Stong
